Sixites Inspired Makeup - HD

Why haloo there.
I should have posted this the day I uploaded the tutorial, but oh well.

In this video, I did a sixties INSPIRED makeup look. Obviously, every person alive in the 1960's did not walk around looking like this, and there are other variations of this style. Also, I didn't put falsies on, though thick lashes were a MUST in this period... not that I was there, but--

I felt like wearing baby blue eyeshadow and thick liner, so :) Enjoy!

Adele Inspired Makeup on My Auntie

My aunt had a wedding to go to, and entrusted her face unto me!!! I had so much fun creating this Adele inspired look.

The key to an Adele-inspired look is a dark cut-crease blending up to a matte browbone highlight. The lid colour should also be light, with a shimmer inner corner and winged eyeliner. I toned down the eyeliner and added some lash inserts here. I went for a nude-pink lip colour that would not overpower the eyes, and I went for a strong cheek contour like Adele has. The whole look is very 60's mod inspired with a modern edge.

Products Used:

Face:
-L'Oreal face primer
-MAC Face and Body Foundation C5
-Laura Mercier Matte Translucent Powder
-Tarte bronzer in Parke Ave. Princess (heavy contour in the hollows of the cheeks, jaw and temples)
-Nars blush in Orgasm
-MAC eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown

Eyes:
-Urban Decay Primer Potion
-MAC eyeshadow in All That Glitters (shimmery nude colour on the main lid area)
-MAC eyeshadow in Carbon (matte black etched in the crease, outer corners and lower lashline)
-Too Faced eyeshadow in Like a Virgin (fluffed into the black in the crease and lower lashline)
-MAC eyeshadow in Red Violet (used to blend out the crease)
-Inglot eyeshadow #351 (matte cream shade on the browbone)
-Urban Decay eyeshadow in Sin (inner corners)
-Bobbi Brown Gel eyeliner in Caviar Ink
-Quo Lash Inserts
-Duo Lash Adhesive

Lips:
-MAC lipstick in Captive (plummy pink)
-MAC lipstick in Creme d'Nude (creamy beige)

Hope you enjoy!

I'm A Little Monster! Lady Gaga Inspired Makeup

Pull on your shades 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames tonight.
I was listening to Gaga a few days ago and decided, despite the fact that I was off to work, that I HAD to go a little crazy with makeup.

Lady Gaga often has a cut crease in cool neutral tones with some black at the outer and inner crease of the eye. The eyeshadow should be lifted and pointed but still blended. Double cat eyeliner is a must, as well as strong contouring and highlighting, and a flawless complexion. Full red lips complete the Gaga look. She uses MAC's "MAC Red" but I do not own it, so...

Of course, Gaga always has awesome lashes, but like the Derpina I am I forgot to take care of that before I took these photos. I am sorry! I hope you enjoy anyhow :)

It would be so much more awesome with lashes!

Strong cheek contour and highlight...

Ridiculously red lips!

So 80's <3

Grr.

Products Used:

Face:
-Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundation (This stuff covers like a dream!)

3. Unmentionables & Lap Dance (dark greyish plum with a small brush traced along the deep crease all the way in towards the orbital bone)
4. Stiletto (matte black etched in the deep crease, outer corner, to intensify lifted/pointed outer corner, lower lashline flicked out)
-Rimmel Glam'Eyes black liquid liner (exaggerated cat eyeliner, all the way into tear duct)

Christina Aguilera Inspired Look from The Voice

I loveeee Christina Aguilera's makeup on the voice! Well, most of it anyway.
This is a classic retro golden eye with a red lip. I absolutely LOVE how red lips look on me; I don't wear them enough.
Inspiration photo:

I will say that I do not love every aspect of this makeup. I feel like the cheek contouring is a bit much for her face shape, and the lip colour could have been applied more smoothly. But I love the concept of gold smoky eyes with a cut-crease and cat-liner, paired with a red lip. Bear in mind I look nothing like her, and my skin-tone is much more yellow-toned.

When doing stage makeup, take into consideration the fact that bright lights will be shining on you. You may need to re-sculpt the features of your face because lights can wash them out.
You can do this by subtly tracing along the sides of your nose with a touch of bronzer, contouring your cheekbones, temples and jawline, and a touch under the bottom lip.
Keep your skin matte and use a slightly shimmery pale highlight down the bridge of the nose and tops of cheekbones and on top of the cupid's bow to accentuate those features.

This is the makeup I wore to my school talent show. I took these photos after a 14-hour day of rehearsal, then work, then rehearsal, then my show. Woot! Hooray for makeup that sort of kind of lasts! I did NOT reapply lip colour at all. And I couldn't find my gold glitter: Sugarpill's Goldilux, which I used on Pooja.

Moving on... :)

Products Used:

Face:
-L'Oreal face primer
-MAC Face and Body foundation in C3
-Cover FX Full Coverage cream foundation in M40 (under eyes, around nose)
-Inglot loose powder
-Inglot bronzer (as a contour)
-Nars blush in Orgasm

Eyes:
-UDPP
-Urban Decay eyeshadow in Half Baked (shimmery true gold on the eyelid)
-Urban Decay eyeshadow in Naked (nude beige blended in the crease)
-Urban Decay eyeshadow in Buck (warm brown swept along the crease, lower lashline)
-Urban Decay eyeshadow in Creep (almost-black etched in the crease and outer corner and upper lashline)
-Annabelle white eyeliner (waterline)
-Inglot eyeshadow #07 (bright shimmery gold, browbone and inner corner)
-Rimmel Glam'Eyes liquid liner (cat-shaped upper liner)
-Revlon GrowLuscious Mascara

Lips:
- Rimmel lip liner in Cherry Kiss (at the border of my lips, blended towards the center lightly)
-MAC Lipstick in Kanga Rouge (the BEST red lipstick EVER. No one can ever tell me different. Alas, it has been discontinued D:)

It was an awesome show for me!

Enjoy!

Happy St-Patrick's Day

Now because I hardly ever do anything normal, I decided NOT to do a green smoky eye and a clover on my cheek for St-Paddy's day.
Granted, I didn't leave the house looking like this, but that's beside the point.

So Illamasqua, an extremely expensive (sniffle sniffle) UK makeup company, recently launched a new collection called Human Fundamentalism. Now upon closer inspection of their website, you will find crazy makeup; the kind of thing that makes an obsessed little girl like me drool.

Anyway, here is their promo pic...

 I know!!! Awesome, right?!
Well here is my attempt at re-creating this look, minus the blue wig and falsies. Instead, I mixed a whole bunch of different blue and green creamy products I had and brushed through my lashes with them using a clean spoolie.
Pardon the sloppy photos, my house was very dark. CLICK TO ENLARGE!

And how, you ask, did I make my eyebrows WHITE?! 
The glue-stick method, my friend. I glopped on as much glue as I could, smoothed it out, and applied a ton of concealer over it. Then I powdered it. THEN I applied white eyeliner and eyeshadow in this here eyebrow shape.

As for the turquoise lips, I mixed a very intense teal pigment with a chunk of white eyeliner and a blob of clear lip gloss to make an intense blue lip colour.

In the photo, the model has some very heavy contouring going on. I just took some bronzer and etched it around my nose, following the bone that goes to my (natural) eyebrow. Then I blended it down toward the sides of my nose. I also added a bit under my nose for some more shape. I applied it generously to my cheeks close to my nose and brought it up into my temples. I dabbed some light gold shimmer down the center of my nose and on top of my cheekbones.

For the white eyeliner, I used a white pencil and dabbed white eyeshadow over it in a strong cat-eye shape. I did the same for the white mole.

The eyeshadow is fairly basic. Just a cream colour on the lid and inner corner, and medium taupe grey in the crease and a teensy bit of black and dark grey etched in the deep crease. I used dark grey under my lower lashes and flicked it out at the ends.


Products Used

Face:
-A glue stick layered over my eyebrows
-Cover FX full-coverage cream foundation, all over my face

Whoo! There ya go!

Vibrant Pink and Blue

Because I can.
So this is a basic blue cut-crease fading up to the brow, with a bright pink on the lids. I decided to keep the lower lashline clear because a) the eyes are already insane, and b) I was short on time.

Bear i mind that I had some trouble getting the lighting just right.

I also forgot lips gloss, but I will be posting soon about deciding what lip colour or product to wear along with different eye makeup.

Are you READY?!

Ahh, okay, not so crazy...

 Closeups!

WOAH!!!!!!

Bold Valentine's Day Look

Anyone who knows me knows I love vibrant makeup... Sometimes I border on Drag! Looks like this one do NOT intimidate me at all. I adore colour!

This was the look I wore when I went to Sephora that one time before Christmas and accidentally bought a really good brush, which I used today for my foundation!

The inspiration for the colours is obvious...

Whoah!

 I had a little trouble with the lighting in this next photo...

Hmm.
